OUR TREATMENT OF THE DISEASES
The employment OF Medical Inhalation for
its diI ect effects on the diseased organs;
and, at the same time, adopting sueh ny

medicines by the stomach as will most el
fectually purify the blood. give tone TO
the nervous system. and bald up and
strengthen the general constitution. In

fiji the pockets OF It's proprietors. 1t is not
a talisman, whose possession insures health
to its possessor without the intervention OF
sense or Judgment. Medical Inhalation is
none of these things.
Medical Inhalatlon is simply and solely
method of taking medicines by inhaling or
breathing them into the lungs instead ot
swallowing them into the stomach. By In,
halation the proper medicines are applleu
directly to the seat of the disease, III the
nose, throat or lungs; and it is clear to
every reasoning person how peculiarly ap..
plicable Inhalation is in the disorders OF
The organs named. If you have scalded or
burned the surface of the body, or wounded
any limb or member, you do not swallow
the remedy Intended to heal the disor-
ganized tissue. On the contrary, you apply
II directly to the seat of the wound or IN
iury why, tileu Vi hen suffering from ca
tarih of the nasal passages or throat, or al
fl;cted with liberation OF the lungs, should
you rely on medicines taken Into the
stomach?
Medical Inhalation not only applies the
proper healing remedies to the seat OF Inc
disease, but ii applies the remedy IN the
gaseous or vaporous Aform, IN Whicn IorH'
as is well known, medicines actmost power
fully. How much greater. for example, 1s
the effect of drachm of chloroform, when
inhaled or breathed, than many times the
quantity when sw allowed into the stomach.

and thence sent wandering through the
system in search of malady which may be
| mainly or entirely local one; but by this
method the proper remedy is applied di-
rectly to the diseased organ. Who, after
studyirg the anotomy of the lungs. can
doubt that Inflammation and liberation OF
| the air-tubes nnd air-cells, the direct appii-
| cation of the healing medicine by In hala
\ ton to the diseased parts, is the correct and
| rational method OF treatment? Who. on
the other hand, can be SO Irrational as to
believe that the proper and direct way to
reach the diseased surfaces OF the. fir.
passages in this case, is by the way OF the
membrane. O. skin, lining the air-passages
of the nose, throat and lungs, Is only a
slightly modified form of the Sane structure
as that which covers the external surface
of the body. Why, then, should local treat
ment be proper and necessary for iniam-
nations, concessions and ulcerations OF the
one and not be equally so in the case OF the
other?
diseases of the nose. throat and lungs, de-
mon nstrates, beyond all question, that the
true scientific treatment OF these diseases is
that treatment which combines the local
effects of medical inhalation with the con
stitutional effects of systematic remedies,
given in the usual way by the stomach.
Que or both methods must be adopted as
,he circumstances demand, and such RENE
dies must be employed as the experience
and Judgment of the physician have proved
to be proper in each particular case.
MedicaI Ocates OF In In ala ton.
Physicians who were educated twenty
years ago or more, and VINO nave not kept
up with the times in the advance in medi-
cal science, have very little idea OF the great
importsnce all leading writers now give to
Medical Inhalation in the treatment OF pull
moDary diseases. To such an extent Is this
true that no patient shouio intrus. '1 MS case
and thoroughly equipped with everything
necessary for the administering of the
proper remedies by the method OF lnhala-
ton.
The numerous cures effected by inhala-
lation in cases seemingly past all help, and
the uniform success attending its use in
diseases of the respiratory organs, renders
it obligatory on every honest physician to
at once apply himself to gam a RraGticaai a.
not possible, he is at least bound to decline
to treat such cases.
Among the most eminent physicians, of
the age who are fully awakened TO the value
Of Medical Inhalation in these diseases are

The Durability of COnsu mption.
For FIVE years the celebrated DR.. 1. H.
Bennett waa pathologist to the yal In
firmAry Of Edinburgh. and in his great
work on Consumption" he makes the fol
lowing statemen
"Duripg this period made upwards of
1000 post t-mortem examinations of persons
dying from various diseases, and was
constantly meeting with cases in which
found cavities in the lungs from consump
tion, which had evidently healed up or
cicatrized years before the death of the
subject. Mature did not seem to have been
successful In restoring the wasted lung
substance, but the cavities were dried up,
the progress of the disease rested, aud
the subject lived for years, with diminished
lung power 1t is true, but otherwise in good
health"
